How to measure and fit a bra in three easy steps


STEP 1: Measure for band size:

How to Measure Bra Band Size
Keeping the measuring tape parallel with the ground, measure around your bra directly under your bust after expelling all air from your lungs - you want this measurement to be as small as possible. Round all fractional measurements to the nearest whole number.

If the measurement is even, add 4"
If the measurement is odd, add 5"



STEP 2: Measure for cup size:

How to Measure Bra Cup Size
Standing straight, with your arms at your side, measure at the fullest part of your bust (while wearing a non-padded bra) making sure the measuring tape is parallel with the ground and not binding.
Round all fractional measurements to the nearest whole number.

STEP 3: *Calculate your bra size:

Subtract your band measurement (step 1) from your cup measurement (step 2). Generally, for each inch in difference, the cup goes up by one size. See the cup size conversion chart here.

Example:
Step 1: 34" under measurement +4" = 38" band
Step 2: 40" over measurement
Step 3: 40" - 38" = 2" or Cup "B"
Your size would be 38B

If The Difference Is: Your Standard Cup Size Is:
0"-1/2" (1.3 cm) AA
1/2"- 1" (2.6 cm) A
2" (5.1 cm) B
3" (7.6 cm) C
4" (10.2 cm) D
5" (12.7 cm) DD * or E *
6" (15.2 cm) DDD * or F *
7" (17.8 cm) G *
8" (20.3 cm) H *
9" (22.9 cm) I *
10" (25.4 cm) J *

*Important Note: this measuring system tends to become less accurate as the cup sizes go above a D. Additionally, some manufacturers name larger cup sizes differently.

when was the last time you were fitted?

i heard some probably made-up statistic the other day, that something like 90% of women are wearing the wrong bra size. take that with a grain of salt.

still, i was measured at victoria's secret the other day and found out that i'm a

B CUP!

holy fuck! the gal that was made SO much fun of in school for being flat as a board is a fucking B cup.

i had no idea how a bra was supposed to fit. like, apparently it's supposed to cover your entire boob or something. the whole thing. side boob and all. i just thought, my boobs are small. i'm an a-cup.

but NO!



are you sure you know your bra size? have you been fitted in the last six months? the gals at 'vicki's' say that's the only way to know...
